Usage
I'd like to be able to run two mobile games on two different emulators (Nox and LD Player) while playing WoW, watching Youtube or Twitch or streaming on twitch. My current system greenscreens when I try to do this even though my system should be able to handle it. Trying to get at least another 3 years out of this PC if possible. I am open to NVidia cards but there are so many to choose from I am unsure which will give me the best power for value.

Preferred Website: Newegg or cheapest
Country of Origin: USA

Overclocking: Maybe
SLI: Maybe

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

What makes you think another graphics card will allow you to run the different emulators?

Have you tried using your IGPU on your i5? just to see if it is the card thats causing the problem?

As an upgrade the RTX 2060 falls in your price range. Will it fix your emulator issues I am not sure may as well be CPU issue.

Finally have time to get back to this, and tried to find the answer, but how would I test the integrated graphics? I ran Furmark and Novabench on the 380 with both emulators on and watching youtube videos for over an hour and neither time did it crash (Graphics card temperature was burn in at 83C and 100% GPU power). Do I need to select something in task manager to change the graphics source (I don't think I've accessed that since windows 98 on one of my first machines).

Turn off the pc, and plug the monitor into the motherboard, then turn it back on. Then you will be running from the IGPU.
